This is maybe just my inner zelda fan speaking, but i know alot of people are concerned how good Zelda U will be, some say the world is too barren and not much going on, but now with the delay time i think Aounuma worked on that, so that shouldnt be an issue. But its a bold prediction and i think zelda U can be a near perfect game if not completely perfect. Does maybe someone agree that it can be possible?


I love your outlook. It's good to see people, especially on gaming sites, being positive. But there's no way it'll match OOT. That game revolutionized the industry and changed the way we think of games in general. lol

I do think, however, that it'll be the best Zelda since MM.

I hope that delaying it beyond the 2015 holiday schedule means it will at least be at 95 since "the team at Nintendo has found an exciting variety of new ideas for the game".



I just saw the metascore for OOT and I can tell you it's not accurate. 22 reviewers is simply not enough to achieve statistical power. You need at least 40. Compare this to every other blockbuster AAA game released in the last 5 years and you'll see why these games don't score as high as OOT.

We need a cutoff point in history. I say we start with the PS3/360/Wii era for more accurate samples.



It's impossible to make an objectively perfect game. Comparing games of diffrent genres (Action-Adventure with Visual Novel, RPG with Platformer etc.) is utter bullshit as well. It all depends on taste.



I think it's nearly impossible that today some game have 99 on meta score, but I can easily see 95+ for Zelda U.

Also I think it will be one of the best 3D Zelda games ever!

According to what? You? hahahaa

Ocarina of Time is the best game ever you like it or not.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


your prediction is impossible in today's clickbait reviewer world.


i think you should change your prediction to:  "best critically acclaimed generation 8 video game ever"



Not a chance in hell unless it somehow gets as few reviews as OOT.



...

It's impossible to get a 99 meta nowadays. There will be some clickbait reviews and critics are harsh these days. So I would say it will be between 90-95, no more, even if the game is amazing.



No its different time now, and even if it would it would certaintly not count for me
